Web Services How to Use
Using the Web Service Example
In the previous page we created a Web service.
The FahrenheitToCelsius() function can be tested here: FahrenheitToCelsius
The CelsiusToFahrenheit() function can be tested here: CelsiusToFahrenheit
These functions will send an XML response like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">38</string> |
Put the Web Service on Your Web Site
Using a form and the HTTP POST method, you can put the web service on your site, like this:
How To Do It
Here is the code to add the Web Service to a web page:
<form
action='tempconvert.asmx/FahrenheitToCelsius'
method="post" target="_blank">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Fahrenheit to Celsius:</td>
<td>
<input class="frmInput" type="text"
size="30" name="Fahrenheit">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td align="right">
<input type="submit"
value="Submit" class="button">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<form
action='tempconvert.asmx/CelsiusToFahrenheit'
method="post" target="_blank">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Celsius to Fahrenheit:</td>
<td>
<input class="frmInput" type="text"
size="30" name="Celsius">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td align="right">
<input type="submit"
value="Submit" class="button">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form> |
Substitute the "tempconvert.asmx" with the address
of your web service like:
http://www.example.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx
